Future Cat Kyle Wiltjer and team claim third straight state title

Long after most of the fans had gone, Jesuit’s Kyle Wiltjer stood at center court of the Rose Garden Arena and hugged his coach, Gene Potter. It was a fitting way for the Kentucky-bound Wiltjer to end his career with the Crusaders. Wiltjer finished with 13 points and five rebounds and the top-ranked Jesuit Crusaders won their third consecutive OSAA Class 6A basketball championship with a 60-46 victory over Westview on Saturday night. “This is the best feeling right now, a great way to go out,” Wiltjer said.
